Charles Reade Gathering "MateriaI."

One day Mr.. Reade wanted to con-
suit living book, and asked me to ad-
vertise for a man who had been employed
as a keeper in a lunatic asylum. Two or
three days later on l was hurrying down
Piccadilly toward Bolton row, accom-
panied by the most promising of the
answerers to my advertisement. The ex-
keeper having first been RECALLED with
lunch, was put on the rack. How we
checked that unfortunate man on that
frightfully warm summers day; how we
proved him with all manner of insdious
and out of the way questions anent hand
cuffs and leglocks, douching, stomach
pumping, straight waistcoating, plunge
bathing and padded rooming, it would
require the pen of Charles Reade himself
adequately to describe. A couple of
hours after the questioning began found
myself conveying the ex-keeper to the
hall door-he carrying in his fist hand
some gold honorarium, while with the
other hand he YEARLY mopped at his
forehead.-St. James Gazette.

Snakes and wild Animals.

The total number of persons killed by
wild animals and venomous reptiles in
the ten divisions of Bengal during the
official year 1SS5-S6 was the highest in
the last five years and amounted to H.
S23. AS is usual, nine-tenths of these
deaths were caused by snakes. But of
1928 bufIaloes, oxen, horses and ponies
destroyed in this manner, only 81 were
killed by snakes. These annual returns
do not take account of sheep, goats PIGS
and monkeys, the destruction of which is
very large. The hyena is credited with

The Capital of Peru.

The grand plaza, bright with its foun-
tains. its flowers and trees, has upon its
northern and eastern sides the Santa
Rosa cathedral and palace, as l have
already stated, while fronting its western
and southern sides stand the principal
business buildings of the city. Restau-
rants and cafes here abound, and stores
of every description. The fashionable
shops Of the aristocracy are here, where
costly fabrics are retailed, and drugs,
cutlery, fruit and groceries sold. They
are arranged upon the American plan,
and are mainly owned by progressive
Yankees. There is one very noticeable
feature about this business CENTER and,
indeed, the same is true of all other por-
tons of the city, and that is its extreme
quiet; the almost Sabbath like serenity
that characterizes it, SO different from
the hustle and hurry of American towns.
One block east of the plaza, just in the
rear of the grand cathedral, is the Lima
market, where fresh vegetables, fruits in
endless variety. meats and wearing APP
parel of the richest description can be
bought. In many respects it much re-
sembles the French market at New
Orleans. 1t is the principal market of
the city, and, taken all in all, is very
curious place. Here ere heaps of fruits
and vegetables of all kinds liquors, the
choicest and best; paintings and furniture
to suit the most fastidious fancy; sillSen
finery and delicate lace work are hung in
gorgeous festoons from the frames above;
toys and books, candies and bon bons are
here i'll profusion-in short, almost every
thing in the market line is here exposed
for sale. There is maize, too-the finest
in the world; and now the visitor stops
to admire the huge piles of chunn or pre-
served potato of Peru, which, prepared
by process of freezing and drying, is
said to be highly nutritious. The potatoes
here are very fine and large; and with
justice, since it was from this country
that they Were introduced to the world.
Judging from the vast heaps of silky
wool from the backs of mountain sheep,
one would suppose that the Peruvians
would manufacture their own goods; but
on the contrary, not a loom is heard
throughout the entire country, all, or
nearly all. their wearing apparel coming
from the factories of Yorkshire, England.
Peru is backward in the matter of manu-
factories. lacking the spirit, the enter
prise and the thrift of colder climates.
AT any of the many little tables scat
tered about the crowded market and pre-
sided over by dusky faced women in
bright costumes, one can regale ones

milk and eggs and delicious rolls, with

GLOW is it, rural friend asked me-
"that the west side of all the uptown
avenues is the most popular with the
public: | have noticed that all the shops
are on that side and all the people walk
on that side Do the shops draw the peo-
PIE, or is it the people who have attracted
the shops there
had never thought of it before but
when the matter was thus brought to my
attention, the latter argument appeared
to he the most plausible one. The west
is undoubtedly the favorite side on the
avenues. Even on Fifth avenue the bulk
of the promenading is done on that side.
And the secret is probably not far to seek.
The west is the shady side of the long
streets in the afternoons. The public
does most of its strolling and shopping at
that period of the day, and naturally
seeks the shade to do it in. So trade has
grown up on the west side, rents have
gone up. and the anomaly is presented of
a few feet of roadway making an ex-
tremely important difference in the for
tunes of the people who have settled on
either side of it.
Iu the cross town streets the same rule
may be traced out. The south side of
these thoroughfares is shaded in the
afternoon, and on the south side most of
the business of the streets is done. Four
teenth and Twenty third, the two great
shopping streets, present in this respect
an even more marked contrast than the
avenues which cross them. In Grand
street the south side is by far the busiest.
1t is only when you get into the whole
sale sections of the town that you find the
pressure of trade fairly equal on both
sides Where retailing is carried on the
convenience of the public has made a
rule which is likely to be followed till
there is no more room on the popular
side, when business rivalry will have to
develop the other in self defense.-Al-
fred Trumble in New York News.
